Hello, friends! I’m still here. I know it’s been a hot minute since I’ve written anything, and I don’t have time to go into everything that’s been going on in my life (or the raging shit storm that is America right now), but I do have time to write a quick post here, detailing how I just made what I’m guessing will be the Best. Christmas. Present. Ever!

It’s super simple. I did it all in four steps, and about eight minutes. So here goes!

Step one: Acquire a lap activity table. (I got these sweet plastic ones at Michael’s for $5.) If you can, measure to make sure the table top is at least 10″x10″. I literally set these down in the floor and compared the top to the 12″x12″ tiles in the store. ‘Cause I’m classy like that.

Step 2: Acquire a classic Lego base. (These I found at Target for $7.99, but you can probably find them cheaper elsewhere.) The standard base is 10″x10″. (See where I’m going with this?)

Step 3: Cut small squares of strong, super sticky Velcro. (I just happened to have this in my sewing box. It’s industrial strength!) Apply the squares to the corners of each Lego base. Make sure that you put the prickly side against the base! No scratchy squares on the top!

Step 4: Line it up and stick it on the lap table! Boom!! A Lego table that quickly converts to a drawing table in one fell swoop!

I’m super pumped about these presents, as my girls are currently obsessed with all things Lego. But they’re constantly forced to play with them either on the official “Lego table” that we keep upstairs, or they have to wait until I clear spaces for them on the coffee table or kitchen table. (Legos just don’t work well on carpets, after all. It’s just too hard to get that good snap.) And, these tables have deep side compartments for storage, as well as cupholders! High five, you guys!

That’s all I can do for today. But I sure do hope someone decides to do this for their kids, too. I thought this was too good to keep to myself! Happy holidays, dear readers!
